KNITTING^/z^CROCHETING 

Th e Wo r k and the Ya rns 




NITTING was once every woman's duty. 
Now it is her pleasure, her relaxation, her 
nerve-soothing occupation for leisure mo- 
ments in a busy life. With the growth 
of the various arts and crafts movements, 
knitting, like all handwork, has taken on a 
new dignity ; and the increasing use of fine yarns gives it 
new possibilities of beauty. 

To the uninitiated, it may seem strange that the dif- 
ference in quality of the yarns can make such an utter dif- 
ference in the result. But the skilled knitter knows that no 
yarns have yet been made to equal the Columbia Yarns 
in loftiness of thread, flexibility, softness, and exquisite 
coloring, and that these are the points that tell in the com- 
pleted garment. A garment well-knitted of Columbia 
Yarns is the ideal of beauty in its line. 

The greatest care has been taken with the instructions 
m this book. They are practical, clear and accurate ; and 
novice and adept alike will find them useful and interesting. 
For the beginner, every step of the way is made plain. 
Her teacher is the book, always at hand, always willing to 
repeat, ready with the next lesson as she progresses. 

The skilled knitter finds all the time-honored stitches 
and all the new ones; all the favorite articles, and the latest 
ideas. It is a complete manual in the Art of Knitting and 
Crocheting ; and any woman who carefully follows its di- 
rections may be successful in these delightful occupations.

TO SLIP A STITCH 




Take the stitch from the left-hand to the rig:ht-hand needle without knitting it. 

TO MAKE A STITCH 




Bring the yarn in front of the needle (as in purhng) and knit plain. 

TO MAKE A STITCH WHEN PURLING 




The yarn being already in front of the needle, must also be passed around the needle. 
An introduction to Columbia Yarns always leads to a delightful and lasting friendship 



COLUMBIA YARNS 



First Stitches: Knitting 

TO MAKE A TWIST STITCH 




Like plain knitting, except that the needle niust be put in the back of the stitch. Then knit as usual. 

TO SLIP AND BIND 




Slip the stitch from the left-hand to the right-hand needle without knitting. Knit the next stitch, then pass the slipped 
stitch over the knitted one. 

Note— Sometimes the slipped stitch is passed over 2 and even over 3 stitches knitted tog-ether, where it is necessary to 
decrease the number of stitches. 

TO BIND OFF 




Knit the first 2 stitches, pass the first stitch back over the second stitch, knit 1 stitch, pass the stitch on the right- 
hand needle over it, and repeat, until but 1 stitch remains. Draw yarn through and break off. 

There's one way to be sure of the best yarn — look for the Columbia rinj^ label

Explanation of Terms Used in Knitting and 

Crocheting 



In the preceding pages are found the first 
stitches in knitting and crocheting, the more 
complex stitches are made by various repeti- 
tions and combinations of the simple ones al- 
ready given. Therefore you will find refer- 
ences continually to the first steps, and the 



references are abbreviated. Thus, "work Sg. 
C or D C" means "work a single crochet or a 
double crochet"; the method of working these 
has already been explained on pages lO and ii. 
The following is a list of the abbreviations 
used, with the explanation of them: 



Ch. — Chain stitch. Explained on page lO. 

SI. St. — Slip a stitch. Explained on page 
lO (crocheting) or page 8 (knitting). 

Sg. C — Single crochet. Explained on page 
lo. 

D C — Double crochet. Explained on page 
1 1. 

L C — Long crochet. Explained on page 1 1. 

T. C. or Tr. C — Treble crochet. Ex- 
plained on page li. 

P— Picot. 

C — Crochet. 

Th. O — Throw over. 

Stars, thus * *, mean that the work de- 
scribed between them is to be repeated. They 
save imnecessary description where a row is 
the same as a preceding one. 

Wrap — Means to throw yarn over needle.

This afghan when complete measures 30 x 32 inches 

INSTRUCTIONS 



Make a chain of 75 stitches. 

First Row — I plain crochet stitch in chain, 
then take up next stitch on chain. Keep i 
stitch on needle and crochet 3 chain stitches, 
the 4th stitch taken through both stitches. 
(This forms the raised stitch or popcorn.) 
After the popcorn stitch, make a Sg. C, then 
a popcorn, and continue in like manner to the 
end of chain, making 37 popcorns in the length 
of afghan. 

Second Row — Commence with 2 Sg. C 
stitches, take needle through both stitches so 
that the popcorn will come in between those 
of the 1st row, and continue in a like manner 



as m the ist row, putting i Sg. C between 
each popcorn through the whole afghan. 

You must make popcorn come in between 
those of the row you have just finished. 

Finish the afghan with 2 rows of star stitch 
around the entire article, and a row or pop- 
corn stitch between them, and edge with 
chain of Pink and White. Take up stitch 
in centre of star and crochet 5 stitches w^ith 
White, then take up centre of next star and 
crochet 5 stitches of Pink (this makes it neces- 
sary to have both colors going at the same 
time). In taking up the centre of the 3d star, 
cross the White over the Pink, and continue in 
like manner all around the afghan. 



The rich, delicate coloring of Columbia Yarns would be impossible if the yarn itself weren't

Using the same directions for 32-inch bust, 
knit 12 stitches more in the back, and 6 
stitches more each side of front, and 12 stitches 
more for sleeve, 16 stitches more for collar. 

The same directions will answer for 34- 
inch bust — knit 8 stitches more each side and 
16 more in the back; and for 32 and 34-inch 
bust must be 14 inches in the back, and where 
it says 43/2 inches must be 5 inches, and 7 
inches under arm. 



If the manufacturer of yarns is too short-sighted to buy the best ivool, his own subsequent labor 
of spinning, dyeing, and finishing, and all your labor of knitting, is robbed of at least a part 
of its effect

row. 

Fifteenth, Seventeenth, Nineteenth and 
Twenty-first Rows — Like 13th row. 

These 22 rows form the first two patterns 
throughout the garment. On the 12th row, 
and each succeeding 1 2th row, decrease 2 
stitches on each end of needle until there are 
84 stitches. Continue until back measures 14 
inches to under arm, then decrease i stitch 
at beginning of every row, or until 3^ou have 
78 stitches on needle. Knit without decreas- 
ing until back is 203^ inches long, ending with 
the finished pattern. Slip the first 30 stitches 
on a knitting needle, bind off intervening 
stitches, and on the other 30 stitches knit one 
front after the following directions, and the 
other to correspond. 

To shape the reck knit 1 1 rows, then in- 
crease I stitch every other row towards neck 
until 7 stitches are added. Now" cast on 50 
stitches, there must be 87 stitches for the 
front. Knit without further increasing for 2 
inches, then increase i stitch every other row 
towards the armhole, until you have added 15 
stitches; now cast on 28 stitches for under arm. 
You now have 130 stitches on needle. 

Now shape the side seam exactly like the 
side seam in the back. When you have same 
length on both side seams knit from front to- 
wards side seam, and leave 18 stitches on needle, 
turn and knit back ; leave 4 stitches more on 
under-arm needle each time until you have 98 
stitches left, this makes the garment a trifle 
longer in the front. Bind off loosely. Now 
take up stitches from knitting needle and knit 



the other front, care being taken to increase 
on neck and armhole on proper sides of work. 
Sew up under-arm seams. 

Along the two fronts and bottom of coat 
crochet 2 rows of i Sg. C as follows : With 
yarn double, work ist row very tight, and 
on 2d row start from revers down with Sg. 
C, at the corner work 2 Sg. C, * chain 2, skip 
2 stitches, make 10 Sg. C. Repeat from * to 
end of front (these are the buttonholes), 
work the other front to correspond, work i 
row more of Sg. C all around, three rows in 
all ; the crocheted edge should be perfectly 
flat when finished. 

Sleeve — Cast on 50 stitches, increase 2 
stitches each end of every other row until j'ou 
have 100 stitches on needle, then cast on 10 
stitches on each end of needle, care being taken 
to follow out pattern properly on stitches that 
are added. Knit 3 patterns or 33 rows with- 
out decreasing, then decrease 2 stitches at each 
1 2th row at each end of needle until you have 
80 stitches on needle. Knit without further 
decreasing until it is 18 inches long on inside 
edge. Bind off rather tight, crochet edge same 
as around garment. Sew up sleeve and sew 
in armhole. 

Collar — Cast on 112 stitches, and knit 
pattern for 28 rows, bind ofif and crochet 
edge around same as around garment, sew 
collar carefully to garment, and sew the edge 
of the collar to rever, and finish with a band 
of satin ribbon to hold collar in place. 

Pockets — Cast on 30 stitches, and knit 22 
rows or 2 patterns, finish with a crochet edge 
and one buttonhole in centre, sew in place on 
coat. 

For each size above 38 cast on 6 stitches 
additional for back, both fronts, and sleeves; 
and for smaller size, 6 stitches less for back, 
both fronts, and sleeves.

3 treble, and so on. Decrease every second row till only 
24 remain ; then continue for neck. Drop either color, 
and work 1 5 in. or size required for neck-band with one 
color. 

Increase by crocheting twice into the seventh stitch 
from the beginning and end every second row, care being 
taken as before to keep the pattern right. Increase until 
you again have 60 stitches, then repeat rows, 1 to 4 m- 
clusive, 33 times. Silk must be cut each time you change 
color, knot the ends together well. When finished, sew up 
the back on ribbon wide enough to form lining for neck- 
band.

INSTRUCTIONS 

With red make a chain of 205 stitches. 

First Row — Make a Sg. C in each of the 
2d, 3d and 4th stitches; 3 Sg. C in the 5th 
stitch and i in each of the 6th, 7th and 8th 
stitches; * skip 2, and make i in each of the 
next 3 stitches; 3 in the next; and i in each of 



the next 3 stitches ; repeat from * 
to end of row, turn (there will 
be 23 points). 

Second Row — Chain i, skip i, * 
and I Sg. C in each of the next 
three stitches, 3 in centre stitch, i 
Sg. C in each of the next 3 stitches, 
skip 2, repeat from * to end of row 
(always taking up the whole 
stitch), turn. Repeat 2d row until 
there are g rows. 

Tenth Row — Chain i, skip i, 
* I Sg. C in each of the next 2 
stitches, 2 in next ; 3 in centre 
stitch, 2 in the next, i in each of 
the next 3 stitches; skip 2, repeat 
from * to end of row. First widen- 
ing points will have 4 stitches on 
each side of centre group of 3 
stitches, after 2d widening 5 
stitches on each side, and so on. 
Widen in this way every loth row 
adding one stitch on each side of 
the 3 centre stitches, until the skirt is long 
enough to leave opening for placket. When 
deep enough for placket, lap i point at one end 
directly over the one at opposite end and 
crochet through both. This makes the fly. 
After lapping for placket work in the back 
half of the stitch and around the skirt instead 
of back and forth. Continue in this way and 
widening every lOth row, until the points 
will have 10 stitches on each side of centre 
group of 3 stitches; make this the last widen- 
ing; work 5 rounds of Navy Blue, then 5 
rounds of Red, 5 rounds of Navy Blue and 
Red alternately, then 5 rounds of Red and 
finish with 5 rounds of Navy Blue. At top of 
skirt make a row of D C with 2 chain stitches 
between each D C, and edge it off with Navy 
Blue in Sg. C. Draw ribbon through.

INSTRUCTIONS 

This well-known stitch Is one of the best ished, work in Filoselle, with embroidery 

for men's vest, and the simplest method is to needle, a twisted stitch over the upright bars, 

work a straight piece of tricot of the required passing the needle in a slanting direction from 

length and width. This should be afterward right to left under each bar. 
cut and shaped by a tailor, who makes the 

proper incisions for the pockets. Note — An experienced worker may prefer 

Make a chain of 63 (more or less, according to cut out a vest pattern of the required size 

to the width required, but this is a good aver- in thick brown paper, and shape her work to 

age number). Proceed to work in tricot 2 it by increasing and decreasing in the ordinary 

pieces the required size. When these are fin- way. This will take rather less yarn.

INSTRUCTIONS 



Having drawn the shape of the vest on the 
canvas, work with yarn as follows: Begin- 
ning at the right-hand corner, work a long", 
upright stitch covering 6 threads of the canvas. 
In succession work 4 more similar stitches, 
■each stitch being begun i thread higher from 
the bottom and extending i thread higher at 
the top. After this 5th stitch reverse the next 
4 stitches, by beginning each of them i thread 
lower on the canvas, each stitch covering 6 



threads as before. From this point it will 
always be found that the 4th stitch makes the 
point of the vandyke upward and downward. 
Each row of yarn Vandykes is separated by a 
narrow vandyke in Filoselle, for which you 
leave 2 threads of canvas between the yarn 
Vandykes. Work the Filoselle in these spaces 
after the yarn is completed, as it looks fresher 
and brighter if put in last.

Work a Sg. C on each of the next 18 stitches. 
Take up the rest of the row; W B to the 1st 
Sg. C, make 1 7 chain ; W B the rest. These

•each row in commencing. 

Ninety-third Row — Decrease in commenc- 
ing; increase at the end. i row plain. 

Ninety-fifth Row — Like the 93d row. i 
row plain. 

Repeat these 2 rows 4 times. Keep the 
right-hand side plain ; leave the last 6 un- 
raised. Continue the rows, leaving 4 more 



unraised each row, until there are only 4 left; 
work these. A row of Sg. C to the end of 
each successive little row. 

Second Front — Work like the first, re- 
versing all the decreasings and increasings 
thus: Make the chain, take up all the stitches; 
W B 4 only; take these up again, W B 8, 
and so on, just reversing the directions in each 
row. 

Border — On the left side piece make the 
buttonholes, as men's clothes always button 
from the left over to the right. Work a row 
of D C around the outside edge of the work, 
3 stitches in the corner, work around the neck. 

Second Row — Take up the edges of the 
stitch in the last row ; take up each stitch with 
the yarn before the loop, and the needle put 
in at the back of the loop. This is making 
the purl crochet on 2 rows alike, instead of 
right and wrong side. Work 3 at the corner 
of the neck and bottom of vest. 

Third Row— D C. 

Fourth Row — Same as 2d row. * Work to 
the 2d stitch after the corner of tlie neck, 3 
chain, miss 3 D C, 10 D C, * repeat from * 
to * 6 times, then D C as before, 3 more rows 
of D C and fasten ofF. 

Pocket — Work a D C on the chain, cast 
on above the pocket-hole and into the loop on 
each side; 4 rows of D C on this and fasten 
ofF. With 6 strands of the Filoselle, em- 
broider the fronts. Bring up the embroidery 
needle in the bottom of the 3d loop in the 4th 
little row; put the needle in at the top of the 
loop to the right, bring it out at the top of the 
loop to the left, then insert it again where you 
first brought it up. Work in this way on every 
5th stitch ; pass 2 rows, work another row on 
the 3d row just between the 2 last little leaves, 
and so on over the whole. 

The fronts should be made up by a tailor 
to fit the person for whom the vest is intended. 
This we advise the more strongly, as the work 
in making them up is very considerable. 



To really love fine quality in the materials you work with ts in effect part of a general lave of 
cleanliness, luhich chararterires the better class of civilized persons

sides of the first 2 stitches, and then 5 times 
thereafter, with intervals of 2 rounds in a line 
above the previous widenings. For the widen- 
ings, having knitted the first 2 stitches men- 
tioned, knit a stitch crossed out of the succeed- 
ing horizontal mesh. (For cross knitting in- 
sert the needle downward at the back instead 
of upward at the front.) Purl the following 
stitch, then having knitted the round, purl the 
stitch that precedes the 2 named and knit I 
crossed out of the horizontal mesh succeeding 
it ; at each successive round the number of 
stitches between the widenings will naturally 
be increased. After the last widening round 



(the 1 8th round) knit 2 more rounds, then 
take the stitches of the thumb gore on separate 
needles and knit 24 rounds for the thumb, in 
the last 4 of which point it. 

Then continue the hgnd. 

In the 1st round out of the mesh connecting 
the thumb stitches knit 2 stitches crossed. In 
the following round knit 2 stitches together on 
both sides of these 2 stitches, and in the suc- 
ceeding round knit each one of these stitches 
together with the one beside it, thus forming a 
gusset. 

The hand is narrowed in the last 1 1 rounds. 
In the first of these knit 2 stitches together at 
both sides of the ist stitch, and at both sides 
of the middle stitch, then narrowing before the 
stitch to be knit plain, and thereafter in every 
following 2d round narrow in the same 
manner, then in last round divide the stitches 
into halves and cast off, knitting the stitches of 
both halves together in pairs.

Knee Caps 



KNIT 




MATERIAL — Columbia Spanish Knitting Yarn 

3 hanks 
5 Steel Knitting Needles No. 15 



INSTRUCTIONS 



Cast 114 stitches divided on 4 needles, and 
work with the 5th needle as follows: Knit in 
rib style for 47 rounds, by purling 2 and 
knitting 2. 

In the 48th round begin the gore, which 
covers the knee. Knit off the first 26 stiches, 
and knit them separately back and forth, purl- 
ing 2 and knitting 2. 

After knitting 2 rows in this manner, change 
the pattern by knitting the stitches that were 
purled and purling the ones that were knit, 
thus forming a small square. 

In knitting this gore, i stitch is taken from 
the needle at each side of the 26 stitches 
each time across after the 1st row. This 
widens the gore, then it is knit as described 
above. 



Continue taking stitch from the needles 
until there are only 42 left of the original 
ribbed portion. This brings the gore to the 
points at the side and completes the upper half 
of the knee cap. 

Work the lower half of the gore separately, 
narrowing i at the end of each row until only 
26 stitches are left. Take up 23 stitches at 
each side of these 26 stitches along the selvedge 
of the gore. This will bring you to the side 
of the gore. 

Then divide the stitches as evenly as pos- 
sible on the 4 needles and work in rib style 
the same as top, 47 rounds, being careful to 
continue the ribs of the upper portion. 

Finish the knee cap with a border of plain 
crochet.

^ote — To make a firmer rein run a cotton 
rope through the reins when finished. 



Make 5 chains and close them with a single 
stitch. 

Crochet 10 single stitches into the ring just 
made, then crochet around those 10 stitches, 
picking up the lower half of each stitch (al- 
ways working on the wrong side of the stitch) 
until you have the lines 2 J/ yards long, or 
whatever length desired. 

Finish each end with a large tassel. The 
strap with the bells is made with 8 chains. 
Take up each chain with a Sg. C, then crochet 
back and forth on the Sg. C, alwaj's picking 
up the back stitch (which forms a rib), until 
you have the strap 10 inches long. Sew each 
end of the strap around the lines and trim with 
bells.

Directions for Washing Knit Garments to 

Avoid Shrinking 



1. Make warm Soap Suds (not much 
soap). Proper heat for the suds is just un- 
comfortably hot for the hands, but so as not 
to scald. 

2. The washing and rinsing should all be 
done in warm — not hot — water. 

3. Use pure soap only; no chemicals or 
washing powders. 

4. Do not rub soap on the garment. Put 
the garment through the w^ringer and back 
in the suds 3 or 4 times. Rinse out in clear 
water, rery tltoroui^hly. 



5. Wash carefully, rubbing as little as pos- 
sible, and never on a ivashboard. 

6. Let the Suds and Wringer do the 
u'ork. 

7. Stretch the garments lengthwise and 
dry quickly in the open air. 

Part of the reward of buying a good yarn 
comes to you when you wash the garment 
made of it. The best wool stands washing 
best, and the best is Columbia. 

No garment, however, should be washed 
without the greatest care, in accordance with 
the directions given.
